On this episode of the Preacher Boys Podcast, your host, Eric Skwarczynski, sits down with Elyse Fitzpatrick & Eric Schumacher, authors of the book, Worthy.
About the book:
What does the Bible say about the value of women? Does the Bible teach that women are as valuable as men or does it portray them as somehow more flawed, more suspect, or weak and easily deceived?
Beginning from Genesis and working all the way through the storyline of the Bible, Worthy demonstrates the significant and yes, even surprising, ways that God has used women to accomplish His kingdom goals. Because, like men, they are created in His image, their lives reflect and declare His worth. Worthy will enable and encourage both men and women to embrace this true and lofty vision of God's creation, plan, and their value in His eyes.
Bestselling author Elyse Fitzpatrick and pastor Eric Schumacher together invite women to embrace a transformative and empowering view of their Maker, themselves, and the church. But this isn't only a book for women. It is also a book for men, especially leaders, who want to grow in their understanding of God's perspective on women, people who normally make up the majority of their congregations; men who might be wondering if they've missed something amid the abuse scandals that are rocking the church. Might the headlines they're reading today about abuse have their roots in a denigration of the value and worth of women? Worthy: Celebrating the Value of Women will help every reader see the value, place, and calling of women through study questions and a "Digging Deeper" section that will help men and women discover how to cherish, value, and honor one another for God's glory.

| 0:00.0 | Trigger warning. This podcast contains descriptions of various abusive situations. |
| 0:07.0 | Listener discretion is advised. |
| 0:09.0 | The whole message that women only have value as they are in relationship to a man, aside from the man, Christ Jesus. He's the only one. That a woman has no |
| 0:24.4 | value except if she's in relation to a man, that message will crush women. And what if a woman |
| 0:31.0 | can't find a church where women are valued, single women are valued, widows are valued. |
| 0:40.3 | If you can't find a church that's complementarian that will teach you that, |
| 0:43.3 | then find a church that's egalitarian that'll teach you that. |
| 0:46.3 | And that's where I'm at, because whether you're a complimentarian or egalitarian, |
| 0:53.3 | that's not how you're justified. |
| 0:55.8 | You're justified by faith in Christ. |
| 0:59.1 | That's what justifies us. |
| 1:01.7 | So my perspective on gender roles doesn't justify me. |
| 1:05.7 | My perspective on gender roles is ancillary. |
| 1:09.8 | It's peripheral. |
| 1:11.7 | What really matters is that Jesus Christ has called me righteous and forgiven. |
| 1:17.2 | That's what matters. |
